Summary
It isn't often that the echelon is without an active project in process for any singular member, so the opportunity to have a little relaxation time is beyond welcome. It is also a very welcomed opportunity for certain bonding activities they all mutually find very rewarding. Sum Total and Autopoiesis are safely docked in Holism's deployment bays, Perihelion flies alongside as escort in a typical formation, and Aphelion's drone swarm is deployed between the three other members of their echelon. With courses plotted and pilot control relinquished to secure and separate partitions, consciousnesses are split in advance to monitor key features that cannot be disrupted; atmospheric controls, wormhole navigation, mapping systems, and all other highly important systems are isolated. Prior experiences have taught them all very well.

This is a spaceship orgy. I really do not know how else to explain this.

Shipspotters' Lunch Club of UplandGatewayOne by astrotype

Summary
On UplandGatewayOne, the primary station and transit ring in a system known primarily as the proud home of the Pansystem University of Mihira and New Tideland, a small group of shipspotters meets for lunch every workday.
Some days are busy, ships of all sizes and classes and origins and destinations buzzing in and out of the transit ring like a hive of insects.
This is not one of those days; by the time Amaliya has finished her meal packet, a handful of small passenger ships have departed in the direction of the planets, but none have arrived at the station. She's just about to heave a sigh, stand up from her seat, and declare that she'd better get back to work, when a ship finally pops through the wormhole and comes into view.

Summary
The second Holism enters sensor range, Sum Total sees it, and greets it like it's been a thousand years since they saw each other - as if it hasn't been two weeks.

If We Don't Leave Port Today, ART Might Delete Sum Total by astrotype

Summary
In port at the Pansystem University of Mihira and New Tideland, ART is having modules swapped out for its cargo run season. Rather than operating uncrewed this season, it will have two augmented human security consultants aboard for the period between the two academic years - that's the story for anyone who asks, anyway.
Sum Total happens to be in dry dock at the same time, and seems bored out of its mind. Fortunately, it has a friend to talk to!

The PSUMNT bot pilots may be intelligent enough to form a union, but that doesn't mean the meetings are always productive.
